Pizza

PIZZA “Momma Mia” Name of a pizza parlor No bowling alleys No pool tables Just pizza “We don’t deliver” Sign above the counter These old white tables Checkered table cloths cover the dents Wobbly white chairs Joe Biscarelli Owner of Momma Mia Joe don’t say much Let’s pizza speak for itself Maria Biscarelli Joe’s wife Momma Mia pizza is terrible Joe don’t care Maria don’t give a damn Hey! You don’t like Momma Mia pizza? You ever hear of the Don – Luigi Biscarelli? Thatsa Joe’s brother You don’t like the pizza? Betta shutta you mouth!

Hey Daver! If the world were flat, would it look like a pizza? Joe Bacarelli does the walk and knows the talk when it comes to pizza...si? The most delicious & authentic pies are found in these vintage parlors? Thank you for sharing a slice with us! Best to you and yours...Love, Mikki

Daver, I saw your comment on James Foulk's poem and want you to know I am praying for your health, especially your vision problems. Don't spend too much time on the computer until you're feeling better, okay? Love you (and miss you of course), Carolyn

How did I miss this one, Daver? Gosh, it reminds me of the old-time pizza places in New York city. Like the way you used the Italian accent as well. I will try to avoid irritation Luigi Biscarelli at all cost!! Wish I could visit NY now to get one of these old pizzas. Great nostalgia mixed with humor, my friend. Love, Carolyn

Entertaining and amusing write. With a brother like that I think we'd all better say we like Joe's pizza!

What's not to like about pizza. Maybe Momma Mia needs lessons from Papa John's. Just kidding. Enjoyed your poem. Karen
